Business Description: I am a physician, trained in Internal Medicine, Oncology and Hematology. I work as a Clinical Advocate. That is, I review your medical records and help you understand what's wrong,what's right and how to make decisions that are best for you. I work with you and your doctors to communicate effectively about your disease. I'll research additional treatment options for your condition and help you find the best physicians in your area, or in the country. I will not provide treatment. My role is to help you choose the treatment that is right for you and help you communicate effectively with your own treating physicians. Most of my work is done over the phone, so you need not live in Santa Barbara to consult with me.
